Monday morning’s brief ice storm contributed to three deaths in Virginia, including one on the Southside.

Virginia State Police responded to 65 accidents, including three fatal crashes, and icy conditions closed several bridges in central and southern Virginia early Monday.

Spokeswoman Sgt. Jessica Shehan said most of the crashes police responded to between midnight and 8 a.m. were not life-threatening.

However, three people were killed in separate single-vehicle crashes, including one on Rt. 58 in Halifax County. 47-year-old Braxton Brooks of Cumberland, Va. was driving a Mercury Grand Marquis on the South Boston Road when the car skidded on a patch of ice, ran off the left side of the road and into the median, where it struck a tree. Brooks died at the scene.

The other fatal wrecks happened on Interstate 295 in Henrico and on Interstate 64 in Goochland. The victims of the two crashes have not been identified.

Three accidents were reported along the Danville Expressway and dozens more to the south and east of the city limits. There were no reports of serious injuries in most of the crashes.

In the Richmond area, the Willey and Huguenot bridges closed for a short time due to wet and icy conditions. Most bridges and overpasses were iced over, according to a statement from Henrico.
